if you were gonna get one of these quotes as a tattoo, which would yo pick?
"if a body meet a body coming through the rye"
"if a body catch a body coming through the rye" ?? |
#2 keeps brining "Catcher in the Rye" to mind. I like that subtext, so I'd go with 2, comrade.
|
What are you trying to convey with your tattoo? I do think that the choice (#1 vs.#2) is significant. In catcher in the rye Holden gets the lyric wrong. If you're referencing the book, isn't "meet" versus "catch", knowledge of sex versus protection from knowledge of sex?
|
While you're at it get a second tattoo explaining the first... prepare to get LOTS of questions regarding WTF it means.
|
I think you should dispense with both quotes, and just get the entirety of Robert Burns' "Address to a Haggis" tattooed over your chest and stomach.
|
yea, it depends on what you want to directly reference, the poet robert burns or the phony holden caulfield. (looove that book, btw)
|
I vote for Holden's version! :)
|
I find it odd that you would ask us. If you don't feel strongly about it either way, why would you want in permanently marked on your skin?
|
Well, I was pretty drunk at the time I wrote the above
|
"i am drunk!"
|
I think this would make a good one:
"Don't ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody." |
